Wheelo, I have just spent the last half an hour scrawling through the web (nothing better to do today. :) )and i have tried every type of search concerning hooking up the wii to an external hard drive (compatibility, size of hd, Fat32, e.t.c.)and have found no evidence that it is possible, actually plenty of people saying that it will not work. Please if i am wrong, correct me, but i just don`t want a mate to spend his hard earned cash in case in cannot happen.

If you need additional information about the Wii, please refer to

And, while you are at our site, be sure to check out the My Nintendo section. Not only does this allow you to monitor the progress of any repairs or part orders that you may have, it also gives you access to the Nintendo Forums where you can interact with other players. Here you can discuss games and systems, and possibly obtain key game play information. Take a look. I think that you will find it helpful.
